Mr Alan Mordue, Sales Manager - Baker Perkins

Baker Perkins has been active in Iran for a number of decades with many installations in the biscuit and confectionary markets. The Iranian market is important to Baker Perkins as over 80% of our business is in export and now with the sanctions lifted, we can be active again in Iran.

Iran has a need for more food and as a manufacturer of equipment for Biscuit, Cereals, Snacks & Confectionary as well as bread; we are ideally placed to serve this need. This coupled with our well build technical solutions; we offer robust solutions that will last for decades.

Personally I thoroughly enjoy Iran and the Iranian people who are very friendly. Unfortunately, this is not how the media portrays the country and this makes it difficult to do business. The main purpose here at the show is to meet new customers, as we already know many of the main players, but perhaps not all
